Great video and analysis. I thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject. I’ve been using Fable since last week and kind of liked it at first sight. It’s cute and all, but still very inconsistent, and way too SM oriented, which is distracting, so I’m seriously considering deleting it already (and now with all this controversy… it seems like an even easier decision) Being brutally honest, I tried the Storygraph, but just couldn’t get used to it. I found it too confusing and too much information gives me anxiety. Besides, I really don’t need all those graphs. The reviews there are tiresome to write and to read as well. So, I deleted it a a couple of months ago. As you can see, I’ve been trying, but just can’t leave Goodreads behind, at least not yet. It has its problems (that we all know…), but it gets the job done and still has the best database out there. 🤷🏻♀️ I use it, mainly, to track my books, specially, my TBR, and to get recommendations from the selected group of people that I follow. So, I’ll keep using it (alongside a private app that I use for my data and as a sort of a Reading Journal, which also gives me more stats), until something really better comes out. 🤷🏻♀️
@@raquelra5878 all of that makes sense! The graphs on StoryGraph aren't necessary (I just like data a lot lol). I'm kind of the opposite and find goodreads confusing to use 😅. I did attend the townhall last night and it sounds like Fable willing to make changes, including getting rid of their genAI. I'll be watching to see what happens going forward with intense curiosity.
